In Sunny FLA!!!

It was a VERY early start to my day today... and I'm surprised I'm still vertical at this point. I had a bad night's sleep (who sleeps well in a hotel???) last night, and I was awake before my 4am wake up call. I got myself all packed again, and organized for my taxi pick-up at 4:30am.

When I got to the Syracuse airport, it was already one hopping place! Full of Canadians going to warmer climates! In typical style... I ran into a student from my school on my flight from Syracuse to Cleveland! I just can't go anywhere without running into someone I know! I got into Cleveland with just enough time to walk VERY fast to the next terminal, go for a quick potty break and board the plane! Whew that was close!

Two hours later I was landing in Jacksonville Florida... I imagined it being SUNNY well, with my luck there was a heavy fog. Of course seeing my best friend from High School, Claire is much better than a sunny landing! Quickly we were off to have lunch (I was hungry!) I had a very yummy bison burger! Followed by lots of walking and window shopping. I haven't bought much so far, a shirt and a few things at JoAnn's.

While shopping we saw this very cool hot rod.

These little guys are very cute, scuttling all over the fence in the back yard. Us Northern girls just aren't used to seeing lizards running about free!

This evening... Claire is stitching, I'm computing but soon to be stitching! Here's where my Paradigm Lost stands, this will be my project for the week.

If no one had already guessed, the MacDonald Maple Leaf I stitched was for Claire. I finished it into a cube-it. I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Yay! You made it to Florida!! I know you and Claire are going to have a blast! These are great pics...especially of you two together! PL looks awesome and your gift for Claire is beau-ti-ful!! Have fun in sunny FLA!!

Welcome to sunny Florida! Wish we were not at opposite ends of the state! I love the Anoles (little lizards)! So fun to watch them scurry around. Your Maple leaf finish is pretty! Enjoy your time. I'm looking forward to pictures!

Glad you got there with no problems, and that the weather seems to have cleared up from the fog and turned nice. PL is looking great, will be fun to see how much progress you get done. Your maple leaf turned out beautifully, what a lovely present for her.Sue
